Most underrated cd of last 10 years!

I agree totally with the previous reviewer Tank Park Salute is worth the CD. I have heard mre than a 1000 cd's in my life and this song, as well as the Cranberries Dying In The Sun are the only 2 that are guaranteed to water the eyes. Sexuality is a great great song. One of Billy's best. God's Footballer is sad and Beautiful. Every song is either good or great. This is head and shoulders above any of the alternative bands. Bragg is a terrific songwriter ad I feel this is his best album.
